  1. Psychological Resilience in the Empathy War

    2 DAYS AGO

    Psychological Resilience in the Empathy War

    Our empathy is coveted ground in the culture wars. Who we care about is being monetized and weaponized. We are bombarded with heartbreaking story after story. How can we stay tender yet resilient in the midst of the carnage? In this episode I discuss the nature of empathy (is it toxic? is it sinful?) but also practical tools for maintaining peace and care in a broken world. ____ Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154AD Music by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.

    Learning to Kiss the Storm

    In this episode, I compare Marxist, Humanist and Reformed worldviews in their conceptualizations of the nature of suffering, causes of suffering and solution to suffering. However ultimately, the aim of this episode is to inspire an informed hope, strength and even joy in the midst of hardship.

  3. Teen Years Weren't Always so Stormy

    Teen Years Weren't Always so Stormy

    The term “teenager” is quite a new invention, developed to describe a unique stage of development that emerged during the industrial revolution. The teen years weren’t always marked by storm and stress. They were marked by continuity and gradual maturity into adulthood. So what changed? In this episode, I discuss how intergenerational relationships, meaningful work and moderately structured identity development can still the waves of the teenage storm. ___ Article on the history of adolescence: * https://www.jstor.org/stable/349302 Studies on Grandparents and other Intergenerational Relationships: * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360690204_Intergenerational_Activities_Involving_Adolescents_and_Residents_of_Aged_Care_Facilities_A_Scoping_Review * https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0192513X221127021 * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19203161/ * https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10514349/ Lifeway Faith Retention Study: * https://research.lifeway.com/2023/10/04/the-next-generation-is-leaving-the-faith-earlier-than-you-realize/ Studies on NSSI and Suicidal Ideation as a Social Contagion * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25722129/ * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40175835/ * https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6317237/ Studies on Eating Disorders as a Social Contagion * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17258173/ * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18220454/ Studies on Gender Dysphoria as a Social Contagion * https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11876199/ * https://researchers.one/articles/23.10.00002v1 Study on the Importance of Positive Peer Relationships * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34848899/ Studies on Choice Overload and Creativity with Limitations * https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1057740814000916 * https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.12721 * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23547233_Designing_the_Solution_The_Impact_of_Constraints_on_Consumers’_Creativity The Efficacy of Mentoring Over Extra-curricular Activities * https://dukespace.lib.duke.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/3521ecbb-2783-4f5b-b412-c235681c9e92/content Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154AD Music by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.

    The Death of Ivan Ilyich

    In this episode, I discuss the classic book by Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich. The main character’s descent into illness and eventual death forces him to face up to his suffering, his fear of death and the true meaning his life should have had. This beautiful piece of literature offers much to be gleaned for those facing their own crises of meaning. ____ Sermon on the Beatitudes Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154AD Music by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.

    Kingdom Theology and the Change Making Process

    In this episode, I explore how I work through the change process with clients using a model of change called motivational interviewing. Along the way, we will visit our theology of God’s coming kingdom and how a clear vision of hope informs the change making process. ___ Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154AD Music by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.

    Matter in Motion or Spirit on a Cloud

    Are we one thing, two things, three things, four? How our humanity is composed has applications for SA, Chronic Pain and more! I just read some Dr. Suess to my kids so forgive the bad rhymes. In this episode, I discuss how it is important to understand humans as both physical and spiritual when treating a multitude of disorders but especially trauma victims and those suffering from chronic physical ailments. __________ Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154AD Music by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.
